Need a recommendation? I personally use Ringers and I buy them from Nimbus.

To all in the Motors Sport Family out there Cars and Bikes, Past and Present.

August 18th and 19th will see the Historic Racing Festival held in Mondello Park. This event will mark the Fifty years of Motorsport in Mondello Park and will also commemorate the life of Mr Martin Birrane .

So what are you looking for I hear some of you say lol, Well I知 looking for Marshals, Young and Old, Past and Present, Car and Bike. For Fifty years there have been Marshals alongside the cars, bikes and karts.

Being a Mondello Motorsport Marshal myself I have the greatest Respect for anyone Past or Present who dons a pair of Orange Overalls and volunteers to go out on the bank in the Rain, Cold or Blistering Heat to ensure the riders and drivers that we respect and admire can do what they love to do and we love to watch.

Just like we have drivers and riders who we have followed or indeed follow at present and whom have excelled at what they do, we also have Motorsport Marshals who in my mind are amazing people. There are Marshals who work with me at present, some older than me some younger and I wish I could meet their standard of observation, quick thinking or attention for detail. ( I知 just the club mouthpiece, but I知 good at it) This also applies to some of those who have come and gone in the nineteen seasons that I have been wandering the Banks and to those who wandered the Banks before my time.

I would Dearly love to see as many as possible of those people back on the banks for the Fiftieth Anniversary, even the ones I never met, the ones before my time. I知 sure some of you out there know a Past Marshal who would no longer have the strength or maybe the stamina to spend a whole day on the banks but would love to be part of the Celebrations. And this is where I get myself into trouble because I haven稚 asked Mondello yet. But I知 sure they would allow us one race when we could get some people out on post and back to paddock after said race.

Even if we can稚 get you out on the banks we would love to meet you and swap stories and it would be awesome to get a big group photo of Past and Present Marshals that would take pride of place on the wall of our Marshal Room ( hint hint to our tog friends out there)

Anyway if anybody wants to put names forward to me, I will definitely do my best to make it happen
And to all Marshals ( no matter which club you used to belong to)(we are all marshals these days)we would love to see you there as well. I would dearly love to see a wall of Orange around the Circuit that weekend.
Please share this post to make sure it reaches as many of our race family as possible and get those names rolling in.

Thank You
